Floating unit for lifting a bendable connection element and supply system for a floating unit

A supply system for a floating unit comprising:

• a bendable connection element;
• a winch for winding up the bendable connection element;
• at least one floating unit for lifting the bendable connection element, comprising:
• a clamping unit switchable between a fixed state for attaching the floating unit to the bendable connection element and a released state for detaching the floating unit from the bendable connection element, the clamping unit comprising a first interface;
• and
• an envelope for enclosing a gas volume;
• and
• a platform comprising:
• at least one connection point for the at least one floating unit, the at least one connection point comprising an additional interface for connecting the first interface of the at least one floating unit when the clamping unit of the at least one floating unit is aligned with the at least one connection point;
• and
• a strain relief in contact with the bendable connection element the strain relief switchable between a reliefing state and a tensioned state,
• wherein the bendable connection element is threaded through the clamping unit of the at least one floating unit, and
• wherein the strain relief switches into the reliefing state when the at least one floating unit is positioned at the at least one connection point and the clamping unit of the at least one floating unit is attached to the bendable connection element wound up by the winch.
